This project was realised as part of the Meeting of Design Students [MEDS] workshop, in Serbia, during the summer of 2015. Across two weeks, Team Zero.Eight designed and created an experiential journey for the visitors of Tara National Park, which featured four stops: a botanical garden, a sound path, a tunnel of textures and an observation room.
Workshop participants during the design process explored how the location, the environment and its characteristics can give form to a specific concept and design, that transforms space into an experience of all senses. After researching and brainstorming throughout the workshop, they constructed a 1:1 structure.
Each stop engages one sense [smell, hearing, touch and sight], gradually revealing the “secrets” of Tara Mountain while allowing individuals to explore and redefine their relationship with nature. The sun, geology, textures, sounds, scents and flora of the park are the “resources” that lend meaning to this interactive experience.
